This is a Calamus driver for the DeskJet Plus which solves the problem
of garbled multiple copies in landscape mode. The first copy comes
out OK, but the rest are garbled.
The problem apparantly has to do with the way Calamus breaks
documents into smaller parts to conserve memory when printing. In
landscape mode, it doesn't get the parts put back together properly.
The problem is with the DeskJet driver. Julius was kind enough to
write this a "custom" driver for me which forces Calamus to format the
entire page in memory before sending it to the printer. As a bonus, it
doesn't have to redraw (and rotate) the page for every copy. It just
resends for multiple copies, making multiple landscape copies MUCH
faster.
Just remember that this driver only works if you have enough memory
to format the whole page. I would guess that means at least 2 megs and
preferably 4 megs. I've been using it for over a year with a Mega-4
and DeskJet Plus, and it sure has saved me a lot of time.
